The Paristamen Charity is a small grant-making charity: see our website for full details of grantmaking programmes. All grants are made to other charities, mostly unrestricted 'Responsive' grants to a wide range of small to medium Scottish charities, although we also award a few 'Planned' grants to some larger charities. In most years we also award a larger Blue Sky grant to fund a specific project.
